Lessons learned: Consider all aspects of the work
CHIRP Maritime reports an incident in which, while on passage, the crew was tasked to clean and paint the engine room tank top. One crewmember was seen working near the vicinity of the tail shaft and narrowly avoided hitting their head on the revolving shaft.
Another crew member stopped work, and a safety meeting was convened to remind the crew members about the hazards and to wear hard hats.
